Abstract

The functional garment, and especially a motor-cycle jacket, is composed of an outer layer and an inner membrane. The outer layer has at least one ventilation opening (1) incorporating a wind-permeable netting in the opening slit independent of the inner membrane, which can be closed by a watertight sliding clasp fastener. The ventilation opening gives a ventilating air flow (B) between the outer layer and the inner membrane. The inner membrane is of a material which is impermeable to wind, but allows breathing.

Description

Funktionel beklædning med mindst et yderlag og en indermembran.Functional clothing with at least one outer layer and inner membrane.

Opfindelsen angår en funktionel beklædning med mindst et yderlag og en indermembran.The invention relates to a functional covering with at least one outer layer and an inner membrane.

Moderne funktionel beklædning forener nu om dage tilsyneladende modstridende egenskaber. På den ene side viser den sig uigennemtrængelig for vand, der indvirker fra ydersiden, for eksempel i form af regn, og vind, men tilbyder på den anden side en åndbarhed, som tillader at udføre vanddamp fra indersiden. Denne kombination af egenskaber muliggør, at bæreren af den funktionelle beklædning ved legemligt anstrengende aktiviteter under ugunstige vejrforhold så vidt muligt forbliver tør, og nedkøling ved evaporationskulde undgås.Modern functional clothing nowadays unites seemingly contradictory characteristics. On the one hand, it proves impermeable to water that impacts from the outside, for example in the form of rain and wind, but, on the other hand, offers a breathability that allows the discharge of water vapor from the inside. This combination of properties allows the wearer of the functional garment to remain dry as far as possible under adverse weather conditions and avoid cooling down by evaporation cold.

Navnlig i funktionel beklædning til motorcykel s port anvendes overmaterialer, som til forbedring af holdbarheden frembyder en bagbeklædning. Dette giver ganske vist et rive- og slidfast beskyttelseslag, men mindsker dog virkningen af membranen, der er indarbejdet i beklædningen.Especially in functional clothing for the motorcycle's gate, overcoats are used which, to improve durability, present a backing. This provides a tear and abrasion resistant protective layer, but reduces the effect of the membrane incorporated into the lining.

Velkendt funktionel beklædning, navnlig jakker og bukser udviser mange gange en lynlåslukbar ventilationsåbning, som ved åbning af lynlåsen åbner yderlag og indermembran samtidig. Disse åbninger tjener til ventilation af de under indermembranen liggende beklædnings- eller kropslag. En ulempe ved disse gennemgående ventilationsåbninger er, at deres kølefunktion er indskrænket til lokalt på åbningsområderne, og eksempelvis ved regnvejr sker der indtrængen af vand. Dette fører til en uensartet varmehusholdning for kroppen og en ubehagelig følelse hos bæreren forårsaget af lokal afkøling.Well-known functional clothing, especially jackets and trousers, many times exhibit a zipper-lockable ventilation opening, which when opening the zipper opens the outer layer and inner membrane simultaneously. These openings serve to ventilate the lining or body layer beneath the inner membrane. A disadvantage of these continuous ventilation openings is that their cooling function is limited to local in the opening areas and, for example, during rainy weather, water penetration occurs. This leads to a disparate heat housekeeping for the body and an unpleasant feeling in the wearer caused by local cooling.

Afhængigt af yderlagets materiale indskrænkes desuden indermem-branens funktion. Således har det i praksis vist sig, at funktionsmembranen ikke kan udfolde sin fulde virkning og eksempelvis borttransportere vanddamp udefter.Depending on the material of the outer layer, the function of the inner membrane is also reduced. Thus, in practice, it has been found that the functional membrane cannot fully exert its effect and, for example, transport water vapor outwards.

Fra US 5727256 kendes en skjorte, som frembyder et yderlag og stedvis frembyder et inderlag under yderlaget. Dette inderlag er dannet af et netmateriale.From US 5727256 a shirt is known which presents an outer layer and in place presents an inner layer under the outer layer. This inner layer is formed of a net material.

Fra US 5642526 kendes en overall, som ligeledes udviser et yderlag og stedvis et inderlag dannet af et netmateriale.From US 5642526 there is known an overall which also exhibits an outer layer and in place an inner layer formed of a net material.

Fra US 4513451 kendes motorcykelbeklædningsstykker, som fremby- der et yderlag. I yderlaget er ventilationsåbninger, der kan åbnes, tilvejebragt. Ventilationsåbningerne overdækkes af et netmateriale. US 6070274 viser en sammenligneligt opbygget motorcykeljakke, som ligeledes udviser et yderlag med ventilationsåbninger, hvor ventilationsåbningerne overspændes af et netmateriale. WO 2204/008895 Al viser en overall, som har et yderlag med ventilationsåbninger, der kan åbnes. Ventilationsåbningerne er overspændt med et netmateriale. På denne baggrund er opfindelsens tilgrundliggende opgave at foreslå en funktionel beklædning, som imødegår de førnævnte ulemper ved den kendte teknik.From US 4513451 motorcycle clothing pieces are known which present an outer layer. Openable ventilation openings are provided in the outer layer. The ventilation openings are covered by a net material. US 6070274 discloses a similarly constructed motorcycle jacket, which also exhibits an outer layer of ventilation openings, wherein the ventilation openings are surmounted by a mesh material. WO 2204/008895 A1 shows an overall which has an outer layer with openable ventilation openings. The ventilation openings are spanned with a net material. Against this background, the object of the invention is to propose a functional garment that addresses the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art.

Denne opgave løses ved hjælp af en funktionel beklædning med kendetegnene ifølge krav 1. Fordelagtige udførelsesformer er angivet i underkravene.This task is solved by means of a functional garment with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are given in the subclaims.

Opfinderen har erkendt, at en funktionsmembrans åndbarhed, beskrevet ved hjælp af vanddampgennemtrængningsmodstanden, i vidt omfang afhænger af temperaturforskellen mellem inder- og yderside af membranen.The inventor has recognized that the breathability of a functional membrane, described by means of the water vapor permeation resistance, depends to a large extent on the temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the membrane.

Opfindelsen bygger nu på den grundtanke at forbedre klimaet inde i beklædningen, ved at funktionsmembranen under yderlaget afkøles af en luftstrøm. Derved forøges temperaturforskellen mellem membranens inder-og yderside, og en bedre vanddamptransport opnås.The invention is now based on the basic idea of improving the climate inside the casing by cooling the functional membrane under the outer layer by an air flow. This increases the temperature difference between the inner and outer sides of the membrane, and a better water vapor transport is achieved.

Den funktionelle beklædning ifølge opfindelsen udviser en lukbar, fortrinsvis vandtæt lukbar ventilationsåbning i yderlaget, som kan åbnes uden også at åbne indermembranen. På denne vis kan indermembranen holdes lukket under ventilationsåbningen, og en luftstrøm kan ledes i et mellemrum mellem yderlag og indermembran. Dette opnås i særdeleshed, når indermembranen overhovedet ikke frembyder nogen åbning eller i det mindste ikke i området for yderlagets ventilationsåbning.The functional lining according to the invention exhibits a closable, preferably waterproof, closable ventilation opening in the outer layer, which can be opened without also opening the inner membrane. In this way, the inner membrane can be kept closed under the ventilation opening, and an air flow can be conducted in a space between the outer layer and the inner membrane. This is particularly achieved when the inner membrane does not present any opening or at least not in the area of the outer layer's ventilation opening.

Indermembranen kan dog også være udformet med en egen ventilationsåbning, som kan åbnes uafhængigt af yderlaget. Er de to ventilationsåbninger anbragt over hinanden, kan der gribes gennem yderlag og indermembran for eksempelvis at hente genstande frem fra den funktionelle beklædnings indre. Det kan desuden være fordelagtigt at åbne yderlag og indermembran ved ture med ringe hastighed eller ved pauser, navnlig ved høje temperaturer udenfor. Særligt fordelagtigt er det, når den indre ventilations- åbnings lukkemiddel er tilgængeligt fra jakkens indre.However, the inner diaphragm can also be designed with its own ventilation opening, which can be opened independently of the outer layer. If the two ventilation openings are placed above each other, it can be gripped through outer layers and inner membrane for example to retrieve objects from the interior of the functional clothing. In addition, it may be advantageous to open outer layers and inner membranes for low speed trips or breaks, especially at high outside temperatures. This is particularly advantageous when the inner vent opening closure is accessible from the interior of the jacket.

Takket være membranoverfladens direkte kontakt med den kølende luft udenfor kan membranens fulde potentiale udnyttes. Samtidig opretholdes beskyttelsesvirkningen af det eksempelvis rive- og slidstærkt udformede yderlag fuldt ud.Thanks to the direct contact of the membrane surface with the cooling air outside, the full potential of the membrane can be exploited. At the same time, the protective effect of the, for example, tear and wear-resistant outer layer is fully maintained.

Ventilationsåbningen er ifølge opfindelsen således udformet, at den både kan være åbnet og fuldstændigt lukket. Ved fuldstændig lukning af ventilationsåbningen forhindres, at vand, eksempelvis ved regn, når gennem ventilationsåbningen og ind mellem yderlag og indermembran. Således forhindres, at der ved våde forhold i omgivelserne indtræder en afkølingsvirkning. Opfinderen har nemlig indset, at vand på indermembranens yderside leder til forøget varmetransport udad gennem indermembranen og således bevirker en afkøling.According to the invention, the ventilation opening is designed so that it can be both opened and completely closed. By completely closing the ventilation opening, water, for example by rain, is prevented from reaching through the ventilation opening and in between outer layer and inner membrane. Thus, a cooling effect is prevented under wet conditions in the surroundings. The inventor has realized that water on the outside of the inner membrane leads to increased heat transport outwards through the inner membrane and thus causes a cooling.

Yderlaget er fortrinsvis dannet af tekstil, navnlig rive- eller slidstærkt tekstil. Alt efter anvendelsesformål kan der dog også anvendes andre materialer som yderlag, som for eksempel læder.The outer layer is preferably formed of textile, in particular tear-resistant or durable textile. However, depending on the application, other materials can also be used as outer layers, such as leather.

Den funktionelle beklædning er fortrinsvis udført som jakke eller bukser. Den kan dog også være udført som andre beklædningsstykker, eksempelvis handsker, sko, overalls eller lignende. Den funktionelle beklædning er fortrinsvis en motorcykelbeklædning, en skibeklædning, en vandre- eller fri-luftsbeklædning eller en sejlbeklædning.The functional clothing is preferably made of jacket or trousers. However, it can also be made as other garments, such as gloves, shoes, overalls or the like. The functional garment is preferably a motorcycle garment, a ski garment, a walking or open-air garment, or a sail garment.

Indermembranen er udformet vindgennemtrængelig og åndbar. Således kan en vandtransport føres ud fra jakkens inderside til indermembranens yderlag og derfra gennem yderlaget og/eller ved hjælp af en luftstrøm mellem yderlag og indermembran.The inner membrane is designed to be wind-permeable and breathable. Thus, a water transport can be conducted from the inside of the jacket to the outer layer of the inner membrane and thence through the outer layer and / or by means of an air flow between outer layer and inner membrane.

Fortrinsvis udviser den funktionelle beklædning flere ventilationsåbninger. Disse kan mellem sig danne et strømningsområde for en luftstrøm. Ved hjælp af et tilsvarende arrangement af flere ventilationsåbninger kan der navnlig i forbindelse med tilsvarende anbragte sømforløb, som forbinder yder- og inderlaget med hinanden, opstå særlige strømningsområder, som sørger for overstrømning af en størst mulig membranoverflade.Preferably, the functional garment exhibits multiple ventilation openings. These can form between themselves a flow area for an air flow. By means of a corresponding arrangement of several ventilation openings, in particular in connection with correspondingly arranged seam joints connecting the outer and inner layers, special flow areas can be created, which provide for the overflow of the largest possible membrane surface.

Hos en funktionsmembran udformet som jakke er ventilationsåbningerne særligt foretrukket anbragt i området for forarmene og/eller på for-og/eller bagsiden af jakken i brysthøjde. Derved kan opnås en omstrømning af armområdet og det øvre bryst- og rygområde. Luftstrømmen følger i den ne forbindelse eksempelvis kørevindens strømningsretning på en motorcykel: indgang gennem åbninger i underarms- og brystområdet, udgang gennem åbningerne i rygområdet. En faldskærmsvirkning på grund af den forhøjede luftmodstand ved gennemstrømning af den funktionelle beklædning kan således minimeres.In a functional membrane designed as a jacket, the ventilation openings are particularly preferably located in the area of the forearms and / or on the front and / or back of the jacket at chest height. This allows a flooding of the arm area and upper chest and back area. In this connection, the air flow follows, for example, the direction of flow of the driving wind on a motorcycle: entrance through openings in the forearm and chest area, exit through the openings in the back area. Thus, a parachute effect due to the increased air resistance during flow of the functional clothing can be minimized.

Som særligt fordelagtig har vist sig placeringen af længdeåbninger i ærmeområdet og tværåbninger i bryst- og rygområdet. Alternativt kan ventilationsåbningerne forløbe eksempelvis ovenfra og nedefter i bryst- og rygområdet.The placement of longitudinal openings in the sleeve area and transverse openings in the chest and back area has proved particularly advantageous. Alternatively, the ventilation openings may extend, for example, from above and below in the chest and back area.

Ventilationsåbningerne er fortrinsvis udført vandtæt lukbare. Dette er særligt fordelagtigt ved brug i stærk regn, fordi indtrængen afvand i mellemlaget undgås. Som lukke kan især benyttes en lynlås, som navnlig kan være vandafvisende beklædt. Ydermere kan lynlåsen have over- og/eller underflapper, som overdækker lynlåsens tænder og fremmer tætheden af den lukkede lynlås.The ventilation openings are preferably made watertight closable. This is particularly advantageous when used in heavy rain, as water penetration into the interlayer is avoided. As a closure, in particular, a zipper may be used, which in particular may be water-repellent coated. Furthermore, the zipper may have upper and / or lower flaps which cover the teeth of the zipper and promote the tightness of the closed zipper.

Alternativt eller supplerende kan ventilationsåbningen lukkes ved hjælp af en burrelukning. For i denne forbindelse at undgå vandindtrængning, kan yderlagets til ventilationsåbningen tilgrænsende kanter være fastgjort således, at den ene kant overlapper den anden kant og sikrer vandets afløb.Alternatively or additionally, the ventilation opening can be closed by means of a cage closure. In this connection, to avoid water penetration, the edges adjacent to the ventilation opening may be fixed such that one edge overlaps the other edge and ensures the flow of water.

Endvidere kan der i ventilationsåbningerne være anbragt et netagtigt materiale. Dette net holdes af sømmene, der omgiver ventilationsåbningerne og begrænser ventilationsåbningernes åbningsområde. Fortrinsvis vælges det netagtige materiale således, at luftstrømmen gennem ventilationsåbningerne bliver påvirket mindst muligt, samtidig med at indtrængen af fremmedlegemer i mellemlaget dog effektivt forhindres.Furthermore, a mesh-like material may be provided in the ventilation openings. This mesh is held by the seams that surround the vents and limit the vents of the vents. Preferably, the mesh-like material is chosen so that the air flow through the ventilation openings is minimized as much as possible, while at the same time effectively preventing the entry of foreign matter into the interlayer.

Opfindelsen skal efterfølgende forklares nærmere ved hjælp af et udførelseseksempel vist i tegningerne. Deri viser:The invention will subsequently be explained in more detail by means of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings. Therein:

Fig. 3 en ventilationsåbning i åben stilling.FIG. 3 shows a ventilation opening in the open position.

Fig. 1 viser som eksempel på en funktionel beklædning ifølge opfindelsen en motorcykeljakke. Jakkens tekstilstruktur udviser en flerlaget opbygning, der består af et yderlag af særdeles rive- og slidstærkt materiale, og et inderlag dannet af en funktionsmembran. I Fig. 1 er vist flere ventilationsåbninger 1 fordelt over bryst- og underarmområdet. Disse åbninger er gjort vandtætte ved hjælp af vandtætte lynlåse 2. I åben tilstand sørger åbningerne 1 for en overstrømning af en stor flade af membranydersiden, således at membranens potentiale, navnlig med hensyn til åndbarheden, udnyttes optimalt. Hovedstrømningsretningerne er i Fig. 1 vist med pile B. De tydeliggør en strøm mellem yderlag og indermem-bran.FIG. 1 shows an example of a functional clothing according to the invention a motorcycle jacket. The jacket's textile structure exhibits a multilayered structure consisting of an outer layer of highly tear and durable material, and an inner layer formed by a functional membrane. In FIG. 1, several ventilation openings 1 are distributed over the chest and forearm area. These openings are waterproofed by waterproof zippers 2. In the open state, the openings 1 provide an overflow of a large surface of the membrane surface, so that the potential of the membrane, especially with respect to breathability, is utilized optimally. The main flow directions are in Figs. 1 shown with arrows B. They clarify a flow between outer layer and inner membrane.

Fig. 2 viser en ventilationsåbning 1 i lukket tilstand. I dette tilfælde anvendes en vandtæt lynlås 2 som lukkemiddel. For at gøre denne mest muligt vandtæt, har den en belægning af vandafvisende materiale.FIG. 2 shows a ventilation opening 1 in the closed state. In this case, a waterproof zipper 2 is used as the closure. To make it as waterproof as possible, it has a water-repellent coating.

Fig. 3 viser en ventilationsåbning 1 i åben tilstand. I åbningen er anbragt et vinduigennemtrængeligt netmateriale 3, som hindrer indtrængen af fremmedlegemer i mellemlaget. Ved fastgørelse af netmaterialet til den omløbende søm ved ventilationsåbningen 1 indskrænkes åbningsområdet for ventilationsåbningen 1 til den ønskede størrelse.FIG. 3 shows an open state ventilation opening 1. A window-permeable mesh material 3 is arranged in the opening, which prevents the entry of foreign matter into the intermediate layer. By attaching the mesh material to the circumferential seam at the vent opening 1, the opening area of the vent opening 1 is reduced to the desired size.
